Oasis - Classic or Dud?

Ticket prices? Ah, secret...

Dud

Get the Stone Roses to support them
#thingscanonlygetbetter

Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing algorithm is going to have a field day

The ticket buying equivalent of the darwin awards; for an Oasis gig in 2024 you deserve the prices you're willing to pay

There's definitely a Cockney walk, a guy I used to work with had it. There's also a Glasgow/West of Scotland walk. The latter is more of a strut, so is the former but not as marked.

This is great.

I joined the hot take tsunami this morning, spending 10 minutes talking about Oasis on BBC Radio Nottingham. Turns out that the presenter is a passionate lifelong fan, so I enjoyed taking a broadly contrary stance.

the brotherly feud was entirely confected right? like, it was just a bit of myth-building while they made bad solo records and waited for the brand to be worth something again

Yeah, I touched on that subject on the radio show: a friend of a friend spotted them at a secret Verve show at the 100 Club, a couple of years after the band split, relaxed and enjoying each other's company.

Should be good news for the tribute bands, maybe No Way Sis can reform too? In fact, do tribute acts ever announce big reformations?

I met Paul Gallagher once (useless third brother), he seemed desperate for me to know who he was.

I'm sure they despise each other regularly and will continue to do so.

Bonehead gets some prominent screen time in their official vid, so I guess he's going be doing guest spots. It appears he's the only original member everyone likes

So is there going to be a thread of ILXors going?

Maybe we can maroon them on their own separate board.

so, who else is going to see Pulp on their latest tour?

Afaict he's also the only one who's had anything to do with either of them (Liam namely and recently) in the years since.

Kay Burley running amok asking every interviewee if they are Oasis fans

dadness in their eyes

Sadly the best (most annoyongly right) opinion I found

Oasis were a state funded counterinsurgency deployed to reestablish white nationalist cultural hegemony when 90s pop culture dared to drift into multiculturalism for two minutes.

They’re part of the same ensemble as Farage and Tommy, don’t @ me

Well hey at least the state was giving some funding to the arts back then.

Arbeit_Fish

is this some kind of Nazi serial killer joke because um

Politically the guy is an left-wing/anarchist type..

Noel and Liam, filling out forms for an Arts Council grant!

Funny how this reunion has happened not long after Noel Gallagher announced his latest divorce. Ian Brown did a similar thing getting The Stone Roses back together after a costly divorce a decade ago.

give it guigsy to the end of the reunion

the only good post in this thread

the rest of ye have the whole of ilm to be ilmy in, why not fuck off there and idk poll radiohead political stances or something

the difference in the amount of cultural baggage attached to oasis in the uk vs the us is such a vast gulf

i should make clear im trying to start a proper 1996 feud here

blur threads next

pulp are alright i guess

wake me when suede announce they're doing a tour where they play the first disc of sci-fi lullabies front to back

they should kick off the first comeback show with Little James to rev people up

Seeing a few UK twitter posts that are like 'suede reunion plz', which is funny because they were overtaken quite quickly.

Aren't Suede already reformed?

yes that's why i didn't say "reform"

anyway... oasis, notoriously great live band who aren't dead fucks onstage at all, they're back baby

oh i see you were replying to xyz, tom, sorry about that, my brain isn't reading correctly today

Sorry should've checked. Still going with new material since getting back together..

Suede shared top billing with John Major at some Festival of Ideas last year or thereabouts, some laughs on social media about travelling back in time and informing the band of this. Also last spot on an ILX best albums of the year poll some time ago.

yeah i used to just chuckle at the whole "mega" shit about them at the time seeing bands like fugazi, superchunk, archers, jesus lizard, girls vs boys, jsbx etc - let's see a little hustle out there fellas!! *blows whistle* alright we're gonna run some laps until you guys get this right

I was at a Suede gig a few weeks ago
Was great except She's In Fashion which is still dire

Suede's last album ruled.

I think they should hire Bez to dance on stage.

xp I'm a fan of the first couple of 'new' ones but the last one I wasn't feeling. Might give it another go.

xps well hype aside it was literally a recreation of fairly bland 60s British pop. Funny if Jesus Lizard was the expectation over in the US (Jess, formerly of this parish, tweeted something similar the other day)

It does have that sheen of loud guitars over every non-ballad track which 60's pop does not and which could perhaps trick ppl into thinking it's closer to the stuff matt cited than it is.

When they first appeared on totp reruns I did think "this does sound quite distinctive and not like anything else on the show at the time"; it also sounded boring and shit, to be clear.

Yeah there are some updates (the sheen is v similar to Band of Susans, a NY art rock outfit). 'Attitudes' and fashions are ofc updated but ultimately there wasn't much doubt what this was mining.

Stoked

yeah it wasn't so much like everything had to be jesus lizard it was just the breathless hype then i saw them live on mtv and it was like "oh...ok"

The Replacements as well

Saw elsewhere that a tour itinerary leaked last night or early this morning, was dismissed as fake but the UK/Ireland dates proved true.

These were the North America dates from the previously dismissed as fake itinerary:
24 August 2025: Downsview Park, Toronto, ON
27 August 2025: Soldier Field, Chicago, IL
30 August 2025: MetLife Stadium, East Rutherford, NJ
2 September 2025: Gilette Stadium, Boston, MA
6 September 2025: Rose Bowl, Los Angeles, CA
11 September 2025: Foro Sol, Mexico City

Maybe I'm way underestimating demand here, but I can't imagine Oasis filling up Soldier Field.
